Description:
A little strange but far from unpleasant, Road to Nashville is a glorified gimmick held together by a lengthy parade of country & western hitmakers from 1967. The story, such as it is, finds comic actor Doodles Weaver reprising his popular character, Colonel Beedlebaum, as a bumbling movie producer sent to Nashville in search of talent for a film. While the colonel roams cluelessly through recording studios and rehearsal sessions, we enjoy the smooth artistry of Marty Robbins ("Devil Woman"), the grit of a young, clean-shaven Waylon Jennings ("Anita"), the hillbilly high jinks of Quinine Gumstump & Buck ("Cutting Room Floor"), the robust balladeering of Connie Smith ("Never Get Over Loving You"), and Johnny Cash singing with the Carter Family ("Were You There"). A few other Nashville royals are in fine form: Hank Snow, Porter Wagoner, and Lefty Frizzell, among them. --Tom Keogh
